full hi-steer? you mean full hydro? Either way, maybe because the weight difference is minimal, the weight's down low, and failure could have very undesirable results? And rock hits on steering components are inevitable

No not full hydro. I'm talking hi steer where both the draglink and tie rod are both on top of the knuckle. By having them on top op the knuckle especially in a leaf sprung setup the steering is protected pretty good.
i used .120 wall 1.25 dia DOM on my mini tierods, but i wouldn't use it for a full length tierod or draglink
Lately my front passenger side brake has been seizing up on the disk making it pull hard to the right and heat up really bad. Anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this?
Sticking caliper?Quote:

i think 3/16 is about that max any thicker and you don't get very much dimple if i remember correctly
yeah i guess, how do you fix that?Quote:

yes, replace or rebuild the caliper. Usually not worth rebuilding it.Quote:

Go ahead and do both, don't cheap out and only do one.
also while your there check on your pads and rotors. your rotors should be smooth with no lips or grooves.
check the unit bearing if is going out it makes the rotor grind the caliper, if your pads are worn at an angle it is that or the sliders are stuck.
its also not a bad idea to use anti sieze when reassembling things
I had the rubber brake line collapse internally on a truck once. It acted like a check valve and would only allow pressure in, and not allow fluid to return, so the caliper just kept getting tighter. It was on a 1998 truck, so really not that old.Quote:
